Nomination

I, CommanderTony, nominate DavidJCobb for adminship at Halopedia.
Nominee, please accept or defer the above nomination below this line.
I, DavidJCobb, accept the nomination.

Reason for nomination

Here's that time again, when we face a monumental task ahead of us. Within a year, more Halo material will be released than ever before, including the upcoming Halo Legends series and the prequel, Halo: Reach. As we've asked for a "different" types of admins in the past, whether their expertise is in community efforts, or their technical prowess, and today is nothing different. Right now, we have the community, and we definitely have the technical stuff down...so now we can shift to one of the most important things, writing skills.

DavidJCobb, like the others being nominated today, has proved himself worthy of donning the party helmets of the Halopedia Administration. He is one of our best writers today, likely remembering the entirety of the Manual of Style as entertainment while he re-writes some of our largest and most popular articles. In addition to his fantastic writing skills, David is one of our most gifted users when it comes to technical matters, a role we've needed filled for a long time.

Rawr,
CommanderTony

  14. Support.svg Support - After talking to him, I will gladly give him my vote. Seeing as how he will now be much more active, I believe that he would do a great job as an administrator. ~Blade bane ~ Anti-Vandal~ 06:56, October 22, 2009 (UTC)Blade bane

  18. Support.svg Support - I have had a change of mind, both Tony's words and a review of his contributions have made it safe to say that David is Admin worthy. - File:Black Mesa.jpg|28px]] Halo-343 (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits) 20:52, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

    • Sorry, but you have to have at least 50 edits to vote... BTW you can sign your posts with ~~~~, which automatically produces a link to your user page and a timestamp. File:DavidJCobb_Emblem.svg|16px]] DavidJCobb  02:00, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
  22. Support.svg Support - I highly enjoy all of the glitch articles. Any one can make them better has my vote. --POSTDRAMATIC 01:40, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
    1. Less than 50 edits. - File:Commander Silver Leaf.PNG|20px]] Nìcmávr (Tálk) 01:46, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
  23. Support.svg Support - DJC, as I call him, has demonstrated maturity and a dedication to halopedia. Although he may not fill every single specification, he would be a great addition to the moderation team. For that reason, he has my full support. Matortheeternal 00:40, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Neutral (2/0) Sysop

  1. Halopedia Vote Symbol Neutral.svg Neutral - No offense, but I have not heard of you enough to support you. Captain6 23:57, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
  2. Halopedia Vote Symbol Neutral.svg Neutral - Whodat? Ghost sangheili
  3. Halopedia Vote Symbol Neutral.svg Neutral - Sorry, I have nothing against you David, but I just don't think you're ready yet, not to say that you aren't the fantastic user that you are. - File:Black Mesa.jpg|28px]] Halo-343 (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits) 20:00, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
    1. Honestly, if you've seen even a small fraction of his edits, you'd see that David has more skills and knowledge than many of our current admins. Hell, any person who has multiple edits over 10,000k in size can be an Admin anyday. CommanderTony
  4. Halopedia Vote Symbol Neutral.svg Neutral - I'm not really sure... File:Commander Silver Leaf.PNG|28px]] Kougermasters (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits) 23:53, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
  5. Halopedia Vote Symbol Neutral.svg Neutral - If I could, I would vote yes, but there are too many administrators already and some of them are hardly ever here. I know Halopedia could use the extra help against the possible upcoming vandals for Reach and Legends, but until some Admins have their Administrative status removed due to inactivity, I will remain neutral. --T 3 UserWiki:Thunderstream328|2]] 8 File:Bouncy Wiki Logo.gif|38px]] 18:30, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Against (9/2) Sysop

  1. Overstrong Oppose.svg Oppose - DJC DOES NOT MEET TWO OF THE ADMIN REQUIREMENTS. HTF do I know about them and apparently admins do not?!?!?! - JEA13 [iTalk] 13:19, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
  2. Oppose.svg Oppose - Sorry, Cobb, I don't have anything againist you now, but you don't have the requirements. You aren't a Rollbacker, an Admin must have held Rollback Rights before being one, it's too early. No offense, but I don't think you deserve being an Admin, as of now. Why not going step-by-step instead of just one big jump? Flood12345
  3. Oppose.svg Oppose - We bending rules for admins now? No offense, but this is too early for me. And to be honest, aren't the main purposes of admins to be for antivandal use? From what I can tell, David really doesn't have that much antivandal history... --   General5 7    talk    contribs    email   01:22, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
The only rule I have seen that would normally disqualify him is the fact that he does not have Rollback Rights. Otherwise, he's more than qualified. SmokeSound off! 03:17, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
As per Smoke., but also General, being an admin is far less about reverting edits that is thought to be or actually is vandalism, and more about maintaining stability. Needless to say, that is far more work, and exactly the reason DJC is qualified. Nonetheless, I respect your opinion. -DinoBenn says "Fight to the End, Never Give In" File:S4.jpg|18px]] 08:53, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
I just have to point this out; has DJC ever shown any leadership capability? --   General5 7    talk    contribs    email   19:56, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
Just wondering, what's your definition of leadership capability?-
